I believe that older people are one of the most interesting and wonderful cohorts of people on the planet - but somewhere along the way we’ve lost sight of this. We need to turn this around, not just because older people deserve better but also because doing so would make the world a better place for all of us. I believe such a significant cultural shift requires a broad range of strategies. Strategies are needed to encourage every Australian to roll up their sleeves, embrace their own ageing and rethink their interactions with older people. This is what Celebrate Ageing sets out to do.

about CELEBRATE AGEING

Celebrate Ageing is a National Program challenging ageism and building respect for older people. This self-funded Program was established in 2016 by Dr Catherine Barrett, a facilitator, capacity builder, researcher and artist with over 30 years experience working with older people. The Celebrate Ageing program encompasses a range of projects and websites, including:

Academy: The Academy of Elder Leadership works with Elders to co-lead innovations
